Yeah, you got to love this man. I love it when our friends keep working. Heather B,
0:05
our family. Our family. That's a testament to their talent, their legacy. Right now, we got
0:10
one of the most celebrated comedians of this era, past eras, and eras moving
0:16
forward. Uh we know her from so many different wonderful platforms she's been on. From Think Like a Man to Spring
0:23
Breakdown to A Star Is Born, Dolomite is my name. She's done it all. She's from
0:28
Oakland, California. Not since Monsly. Has anyone sold out the Apollo Theater?
0:35
She did two times. Two times, right? And that's not ex exactly accurate, but I'll
0:40
clear it up. Okay. Clear it up for my fabulous info. Okay, great. Uh, she did her Netflix
0:45
special at Yoshi's Jazz Club in Oakland in 2023. What makes that very special is
0:51
she brought it back home. Period. Okay. Executive produced by the legendary Dave Chappelle. Directed by
0:57
the legendary Dary Stan Lean. Wow. She's here to celebrate her new role on the
1:02
series Crutch, which is Miss Pearl on Paramont Plus. You know, she knows he November 3rd, the one and only Lunell is
1:10
back in the building.
1:15
I love Lunell pimps. I be trying to do them. Lenel, I want to start off by saying,
1:22
man, we got a lot of people calling 8887423345.
1:27
This is one of the reasons why I love Lenel is Lenel reaches out to us beyond business. Business is just a part of the
1:34
process. But she always reaches out for us and she always shows love to those that she
1:39
love. And I remember last time I saw you, Lenel, I think I might have texted you. I told you to show Jimmy Kimmel.
1:48
Tell Jimmy Kimmel, I send my love and best regards and he has an ally in us
1:55
and in me and in you. Right. Yes. And then you put I saw something you you
2:00
posted. You said this is love. For anybody who doesn't know I stand with and ride with my first amendment rights
2:06
and Jimmy as well. We all have the right uh to free speech. Jimmy has given me the opportunity to express myself for
2:13
the last 5 years at Kimmel's Comedy Club in Vegas without fear. It's all sad,
2:18
egotistical, and ridiculous what he went through. But Jimmy, I have your back. I'm just a regular black woman in America, and I know my rights, if that
2:25
still means anything. Period. Period. And you stood up and you spoke out at a
2:31
time when most people might, you know, they might hinder that. They might be apprehensive. They might be fearful of
2:36
doing that. You spoke out for Jimmy. And since then, Jimmy's back on air. And I want to say salute to you.
2:42
Thank you. You a rider. Rider. I am. Yeah. And I find that
2:48
a lot of Hollywood celebrities really don't speak out about stuff. Like
2:54
I just was in Chicago and I was kicking it with Chairman Fred Hampton Jr.
2:59
Yes. We went to the apartment where his father was murdered where tried and
3:05
killed his mama and where he barely survived. We went to the mural in the
3:10
parking lot of his father and I'm like this stuff affects me. I came out of
3:16
Oakland just like you. And we came through a movement just like you and I'm mentoring Paul Mooney.
3:23
Yes. And stuff like that. And I just don't keep my mouth shut when it comes to
3:28
certain things. I'm not scared. I don't Well, see, first of all, I don't work for a network even though I'm on
3:34
networks. I don't work for a network. I don't work for a company or anything like that. So, I don't have any
3:40
corporate anybody over me. Luckily, Jimmy Kimmel has always stood for
3:45
freedom of speech and uh expressing yourself and I mean clearly. Yeah. And
3:52
then he's never censored me in any way. He's never said don't talk about this, maybe slow down, don't talk about that
3:59
or anything like that. But a lot of celebrities, they just don't speak out. Yeah. And I don't understand what that
4:05
is because if if if there if if if even if we're unwittingly
4:11
influential, even if we're not really trying to influence anybody, we actually do. And
4:17
so if people are following your lead about what lipstick you're wearing, about what outfit you're wearing, they
4:24
could also follow your lead about standing up and speaking out. You know,
4:29
I've never been a scared [ __ ] I've never been that. Yes. And I uh And
4:35
clearly you can say that on the radio because it's in every other song. Every other song in every other song on the
4:41
radio. So I know ain't nobody going to selective censorship. Yeah. They let they let that go all the time. Yeah. Or [ __ ]
4:46
and [ __ ] can go. But you can't say that homosexual f word.
4:52
Can't do that. But you can talk about us all day. So I say [ __ ] So I've never been that. And and and I don't even know
4:58
why I've never been that way. I I credit a lot of it to Oakland, but I just
5:04
believe that if we are the people who we pretend or say that we are, that you
5:11
should speak up about things. You should speak up about things. I I I think there's a lot of parallels between
5:16
Hollywood actors that don't speak up and politicians that don't speak up that
5:22
fall in suit because in the politician case, they may be scared of losing
5:27
endorsements. They're scared of losing power. They're just they're just scared. Yeah, they're scared. They're just scared.
5:33
And and I I have talked about in my act, I'm sure there's thousands of people who
5:39
have heard me talk about the fact that we're in this position in this country for one reason. Not because nobody cares
5:47
about policy or or the senator. We're in this position right now with with all
5:52
this mess that's going on, all this racial unrest and all this ICE and all
5:58
this. We're in this reason for one. We're in this position for one reason. That's because America said, "Over my
6:04
dead body will I vote for a black woman for president." Yeah. Over my dead body will I vote for a
6:10
black woman with a white Jewish husband for the first couple of the United States, which would have shown the
6:17
diversity in this country. So that's the reason we're here, people.
6:22
Let's cut the [ __ ] Yeah. And and quit playing like, well, I voted because first of all, the election was stolen
6:27
anyway. was I remember seeing ballot boxes on fire. So, what happened to those votes?
6:34
Or was that AI? I don't know anymore, you know? I don't know what the [ __ ] I'm saying. Hell, I'm not even here. I'm AI.
6:43
You know what I mean? So, you know, it really just pisses me off the the the the the blinders that people want to put
6:49
on. Yeah, we we are definitely in some um challenging times, but to me, this it's
6:55
all cyclical, right? What that mean? That means we're That sounds sexual.
7:00
Well, you want it to sound sexual. I need a cyclical. I like how you You want a cyclical? You can order it
7:06
online. Can I get that online? What size and color you want? What size and color? I think it's
7:13
obvious. Never mind.
7:18
We done got off track. Okay. Lel is here, man. Lel is here.
7:23
Okay. I'll try you. Hey, tell us about Crutch. My goodness. Okay, Crutch is a show that
7:32
I happen to be lucky enough to be a part of that is uh based around Tracy Morgan
7:39
and his character Francois Crutchfield. They call him Crutch for short.
7:44
This show is a uh spin-off, you could say, of the neighborhood that has Tasha
7:51
and Cedric. Yeah, they're also in the first episode. Um, it is taking you back to the family
8:01
sitcom situation. Okay. With the sets and everything like that. And uh it was filmed in New York in the
8:09
same studio that the Cosby Show was filmed in. Queens. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The what?
8:16
In Queens. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, he was in Koffman studios.
8:21
And um first of all, can we just say that Tracy Morgan is a miracle
8:27
walking around? Absolutely. That's our brother. Love you, Tracy. Tracy, what up, man? Come back.
8:33
Joy, the fact that God allowed him to survive that accident. Yeah. And to be able to have his mind
8:41
and to remember lines and to work and still be funny
8:47
is nothing but God. Yeah, that's nothing but God because it could have went so different.
8:52
Can't take it for granted. Not at all. And he does not. And Owen Smith, the showrunner, I've been
8:59
knowing him from the comedy days and stuff. And it was really good to just work on a a basically black production
9:07
with white people coming in and out and uh because you know diversity and all that but it's either
9:22
had to move back home because she's got two kids and she's going through divorce. She's married to a white man.
9:29
his son was working in corporate but that wasn't fulfilling him. He moved
9:34
back home and so it was just like the it's a family dynamic family show.
9:40
Yeah. Yeah. Real life. I just play Miss Pearl who you can liken to remember in 227.
9:46
Yeah. When Rose was in the window. I'm her but I'm on a balcony. Oh, okay. That's the kind of role you
9:52
played in Sisters. Don't do that. Why you keep bring No, I did. I I played the no the nosy
9:59
neighbor, Miss Cheryl. She was nosy and always in the window on sisters, Tyler Perry sisters and lived next door to to
10:06
uh Zack Baby Mama. Okay, but now can we talk about Arsenio
10:12
Hall? Talk about Arino. I love Arsenio Hall. I love Arsenio, too. And uh you know, I I got a chance to see
10:19
Arsenio not long ago here in LA. I can't think of it. Is this the Laugh Factory? One of those clubs.
10:24
Oh, was he at the Comedy Club? It's not factory improv. One of those. It might have been an
10:29
improv. And it was so it was such a joy to watch him work
10:34
because there's something to say about people who've been doing comedy for decades and then they and then they trying out material and
10:41
like in the small you small ass club and it's here's Arsenio Hall the juggernaut.
10:47
One of the biggest best nighttime talk show host in history you know. Absolutely. Solid
10:55
Gold was it back in the day? Uh was that what you know? Yeah. And Arens has put
11:01
so many people on, right? And to watch him work, I don't think people appreciate what that man has
11:07
brought to the world. No, they don't. They need to do a big documentary on Arseno as well. Yeah. Um I was lucky enough to work with
11:15
Arenso in Coming to America with with Eddie. The second film I did
11:21
with Eddie Dolomite is my name being the first. And me and Arino had so much fun.
11:30
And me and Arino and Eddie had a lot of fun. And to watch Eddie and Arseno together
11:35
as buddies was really, really fun too. Yeah. Arino show, I'mma say the two top shows
11:42
for me. Okay. There was Carson. Carson. Yeah. Johnny Carson. Johnny Carson. and
11:48
there but there was Arino and then there was George Lopez a a Mexican man and a black man had
11:55
fabulous TV shows that should still be on the air and that's what we're missing. I was trying to get into that
12:01
lane. I got shut down quickly. I wanted to be a late night um TV host
12:08
and I want to be on network TV and George and Arsenio both said, "Oh, that ain't going to happen the way that you
12:14
are." So I said, "Well, maybe I'll be on cable." So we're still trying to work on
12:20
something like that because there's no women in late night TV. That's a fact. And there's no black women at all.
12:26
There's no Latin women there. So it's a white man's game. And our city was able to crack that in
12:31
George, too. And I give them mad respect for that because their shows were made. They had the guests that we wanted to
12:37
see. Uhhuh. You know, Carson wasn't having NWA on. Not at all. But Ario,
12:43
yeah, he wasn't having popcorn, George Lopez had on guests like that,
12:48
too. By the way, sidebar, shout out to uh Bad Bunny. I think that Bad Bunny
12:54
should hook up with I think he should have he should include like war. The group war.
13:00
Yes. All my friends riders, right? Okay. Wouldn't that be fire if he just brought
13:07
out war? Cuz war is a multicultural group. like earth, wind, and fire and
13:12
and and uh a war or malo. You know what I'm saying? You know why? If bad bunny
13:19
is going to be here, which she he is, he's going to be at the super great, which I think is fantastic. Mag is
13:25
upset. I love that. Okay. And um yeah, get over it. And I think that would be great though to have like
13:32
an American like Latin based type group, you know. So that Bunny, think about
13:38
think about messing with war. Think about that. We're gonna post this, too. And I'mma tag him on the postag
13:43
because I I I think he'll he'll he'll want to see that. And it's not too late. He may put it together. And my uh house manager, I
13:52
uh Mexican. Wait, hold up. Your what? My house manager in Vegas. What's that? That's the chick who orders the toilet
13:59
paper. Cuz I use special toilet paper at home. I use this re um to It's brown. It's

14:51
like we do, which y'all should dab that pee pee cuz just shaking it off. There's always
14:57
a drip in the chamber. That's why we don't like to do that thing thing till y'all do something else.
15:03
Is that true? There's always one in the chamber. that way. Yeah, you shake it off. That's why you
15:09

15:27
Hampshire. What up, Jerry? Jerry. Lunell. Yo.
15:33
Yo, what's up? Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me. Um, I just wanted to I just Sorry, I'm nervous, but uh
15:41
um you were talking about Palmoon earlier and I was wondering if you were willing to share any advice that he
15:47
might have given you just on like comedic timing and and um maybe some advice that he gave you early on that
15:54
you really like still use to this day. Well, I wouldn't say that he gave me
15:59
advice, but I know that I studied him and watched him enough to know that
16:05
there's comics and then there's great ones. I do strive to be a great one. There's a
16:11
lot of comics working. All of them ain't great. I want to be great. And to be that, you have to be fearless. You can't
16:18
be scared. You can't be scared of public backlash. You can't be scared of scrutiny. Scrutiny. People go, "Oh my
16:25
god, I'm getting cyberbullied." Well, you can't be cyberbullied if you don't read it. That's what the delete
16:31
all button is for. Big fact. Say something, get in trouble, and just delete all for about a week and a half
16:37
and they'll be on to something else. You will survive it. You know what I'm saying? I Paul's from Oakland. And I are from
16:45
Oakland. And uh you come up in Oakland with a spirit of not being scared.
16:50
Yeah. You come up with a a a fearless spirit. And I just think I watched him enough to
16:56
see something weird, which is this. Richard Prior, Paul Mooney, and even
17:01
myself, as bad as we talk about people. And as much as we laugh about white
17:09
folks, they flock to come see him. Like, you couldn't get a ticket to see Richard Prior at some point because the
17:17
white folks were buying up all the tickets. You go to see a Paul Mooney show and there's scavs of white folks
17:23
because they no about it for black folks to get them and then they get mad and they walk out. What did you come for?
17:28
Yeah. Like didn't you know? Did you win these on the radio? What what are you doing?
17:34
You know, and my my audience is diverse. When I leave here, I go over to Jeff Lewis's show. It don't get no whiter
17:40
than Jeff. Yeah. It don't get no whiter than Jeff. Say what up to Jeff. I will. He's always nice when I
17:45
Why you don't come over there with me? I didn't even know he was over there. right on the side other side of the wall. Oh, I'm off work.
17:51
I'm coming in here. I'm going straight. You come with me. You want me to come? Yeah, come say hi to Jack. Say hi to So,
17:56
I just, you know, I just know that um he he's not like give advice. He never
18:02
really gave a lot of advice to me, but I shadowed him so much. Yeah. And I hung out with him all the way
18:08
through when he got sick and I was, you know, in the bed with Mooney
18:13
just laying there and talking to him and stuff. And I just picked up some stuff from him. Yeah. And but but being fearless is really a
18:20
big thing. The key thing. Yo, have a have a a what is it? A point of view. Yeah. Have a point of view and
18:27
stand on business. Period. Jerry, thanks for that question, man. That's a great question. You're a super way in the morning.
18:32
What's your view on uh we was talking about this off mic, man. Um, a lot of older men dating a lot of younger women
18:39
seem to be more accepted for the love of money for for the for the older women to date
18:44
a younger man is frowned upon. Yeah. I don't I don't um
18:50
older men with younger women, you know, behind their back we saying he tricking,
18:56
you know, he paying, you know, and they would say the same thing about like me with younger guys, but I've always been
19:02
with younger men. I had a OG. He was a boss. Uhhuh. But we was on and off for many, many,
19:07
many years. My husband was only like two years older than me. And but the thing
19:13
is, I move a lot. Yeah. And for to keep up with me, I can't have
19:20
no old person that I'm dragging around with. I need
19:25
somebody help drag me around. You know what I'm saying? I need that. You like to be dragged. Energy. Yeah, I can be dragged.
19:30
You like that? Not verbally, but physically, baby. Grab my ankle. Drag me across the room.
19:36
Damn. Do it like the cave men used to do. The ender thaw. Yeah. Don't cut me over the head with a
19:44
with a bat or nothing like that. But yeah, that's good. And um uh I think that at the end of the
19:51
day, because I don't I don't I don't need a a older gentleman unless he's really really, you know, they get
19:59
set. We're all set. I'm setting my ways. this way. Got to be open. And they got to be open. They got to be
20:04
willing to move. Yeah. You know, I got up at 5:00 a.m. to be here. Yeah. Right. And the OG is going to be like, I got to
20:11
take my medicine. I need to drink my prune juice before I all that old. I
20:16
need a young thug that's like waking me up. That's right. Like if he's really cool, he could have
20:21
hit me off at about 3:30. I would have bounced up at five. Like, yo, let's go.
20:27
That just get there. Um, thank you for answering my question. I mean, didn't I? All right, Melody.
20:32
I'm probably going to have to pay, too. I'm probably going to have to pay, too. You asked this way. You don't mind tricking, though?
20:38
I mean, you know, it ain't tricking her if you got it. That's what the song say. That's what that song say. And and and and uh I do mind terribly.
20:46
Yeah. I don't want to pay for nothing that I don't want to pay for for a man.
20:52
I like to give gifts and stuff like that. I don't want to buy your plane ticket, right? I don't want to send a car for
20:58
you, right? I don't want to do any of that, but I'm probably going to end up have to having to do that. All right. Okay. If you want what you
21:04
want, man. We got We got the one and only Lenel in the building. Melanie on the line from Chicago.
21:10
What up, Mel? What up, Mel? Hey. Hey, Lunell. I just had a question
21:15
for you. You were talking about late night host Arino and George Lopez. And so I was wondering, you were just on the
21:22
John Melany show and he was a talk show host playing his hand at it. How did you get on his show twice and like what was
21:28
that experience like? Um, I don't know how I end up on John Maloney show. I think it's because it
21:35
was a Netflix affiliated show and I'm a Netflix family member now, but because I
21:40
have a special and I do have a publicist and um,
21:46
you know, they pitch me. Yeah. And so they pitched me the first time and then they asked for me back the second time.
21:52
And uh um that that's that's how I ended up on there. Now, did I know I was going to
21:59
come on there and meet David Letterman the first time? No. Did I know we was going to sit next to each other and
22:04
bond? No. But we we did. What was he like? David Letterman was I my main goal
22:10
sitting next to him, I wanted to see was he cool or not. Yeah. He was super cool. He gave me his phone
22:16
number like on the set. Oh. Because he had took a picture of me and him and send it to Jimmy Kimmel, you
22:23
sent it to me. So I said, you know, if you send me this picture, I'm going have your phone number. He said, that's okay.
22:29
I said, well, if I have your phone number, I'mma call you. And he said, that's okay, too. But I don't call him,
22:34
but I do text him. He always texts me back. David Letterman. Yeah. Wow, man. A great question, Melanie.
22:41
You're a super citizen. All right. in the morning. Lunell got that kind of personality, though. Like, it's always nice to get a
22:48
text from you or a message. It's It is It's just nice, Lunell. Like, you'll just say, "I was thinking about y'all.
22:54
What are y'all doing? I'm coming to town." Like, I think that's my gift as reaching out
22:59
and staying in touch and not needing anything. Yeah. You know, I don't need you. I just That's why I was thinking about you
23:05
because people are leaving here so quickly. Speak on it. And you know, when you
23:11
think about somebody, just hit them off real quick. It don't take them a minute. Hey, I'm thinking about you. I'm about to get on this plane. Boom.
23:17
